June 9, 1586
Sir Francis Drake was off the coast of Roanoke Island with a mighty fleet of 23 ships. Richly laden with booty from his attack on the Spanish West Indies and Florida, Drake's fleet
anchored next day partly in the port near Roanoke Island (probably Port
Ferdinando) and partly in a "wilde roade" at sea 2 miles from the shore.
Walter Bigges was part of the men on Drake's ships.
